Dying Hair


Question Posted Sunday June 5 2005, 3:30 pm

Last year I dyed my hair black and i've kept it black since then. I am now trying to get my hair back to a more natural color: dark brown-light brown. I tried Herbal Essences Dye.. It was called Iced Bronze or something like that.
It just dyed my roots brown and make the black in my hair a really odd color.

If anyone knows a good brand and/or color of dye that will completely cover black, let me know!!
Thanks a BUNCH!

Let me say, don't screw with your hair without a professional doing it.
I know from my friend's experience, she tried to dye her hair bleach blonde, and ended up effing her hair up so badly, that she lost half of her hair "volume." Like, it practically fell out.

Be safe, spend some "extra" money and obviously the results will be guarenteed to work.


GOODLUCK LOVELY!

if you wanna get it a light brown from black, pick a shade thats like light light light light brown cuz black is hard to mess with.
i dyed my hair black..and i couldnt get it back.
i put highlights into my hair instead.
but my black faded into dark brown after a month but it was still dark, than like 2 months after i dyed it black i put a bunch of blonde highlights in it for the summer time.
if your curious i used:
clairol-natural instincts:medium brown 20 HAZELNUT
than it fades in about a month, *&* it'll be like...dark brown-medium brown.

Whatever you do, DO NOT bleach your hair on your own, have it done by a professional. You could really ruin your hair if you do it by yourself. Also DO NOT dye it blonde, if it is already black it will turn it a funky orange color, which won't look at all natural. I think you will be really satisfied if you go to a professional. More expensive? Yes, but your results will be what you want.

hey your hair is really dark now...unless you dye it a million times that color you can't do anything to it since it's already black. i would go have my hair professionally looked at and see what they say about it. or you can bleach it. hope i helped. take care. x3 SweetStar.

At this point I would get it proffesionally done. They can make it look really natural and its not good for hair to keep trying new chemicals on it.

TRiSHx0xL0VE answered Sunday June 5 2005, 7:07 pm:
it would probably help dye it or bleach it blonde first, that way the color you buy will come out pretty much the same color. A lot of dye works..but i usually go with the one that has the best picture and most updated picture on the front lol.

-hope this helped a little!-

i think loreal (sp) works. or it might be best just to go to a salon and get it done.

i think my hair stylist person said that you have to bleach it first so that your hair will accept the color. then use the stuff that you got.

I dont know any color that would go over black really well but i do know that a hairstylist can strip the color from your hair back to your natural color. Hope this works.

well sweetie you just can't put brown hair dye over black because black is so dark. you have to bleach your hair first since blonde is a light color then dye it the brown so you can actually see it.
